Novel Foundations: Scenes and Structure
Finding structure within a story is always a challenge, whether you’re writing the beginning, middle or end of your novel. Your characters and your world can be beautifully rendered, but if your plot lacks foundational tension and conflict, your novel will feel flat. Author Carolyn Cohagan offers this structure workshop that will help your writing no matter what stage you are in. Using the 3-Act structure, character arcs, and The Hero’s Journey, she will give you storytelling fundamentals that will elevate your plots and keep your readers invested in your characters.
This course will have a workshop/critique component as well as weekly exercises to help build technique.
Carolyn Cohagan has published five novels. Her first book, The Lost Children, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2010 and became part of the Scholastic Book Club. Carolyn’s young adult trilogy Time Zero has won over ten literary honors, including the 2017 Readers' Favorite Award and 2017 International Book Award. She is the founder of Girls with Pens, a creative writing organization based in Austin, TX and has been advising on manuscripts for over 20 years.
